WHAT IS A "SOURCE"?


If you follow me on Twitter you may have seen my thoughts on "sources" that are often used by bloggers and YouTubers. I don't think much of them because if you pay attention you would  notice that "sources" are too often:  Tweets  IG comment section  A person with a grudge / an unvetted person   The person reporting the story  Another blog that you don't want to credit


If you follow me on Twitter you may have seen my thoughts on "sources" that are often used by bloggers and YouTubers. I don't think much of them because if you pay attention you would notice that "sources" are too often:


  1. Tweets

  2. IG comment section

  3. A person with a grudge / an unvetted person

  4. The person reporting the story

  5. Another blog that you don't want to credit


I wanted to get y'all opinion on the use of "sources."


  • When a blogger tells you they have a source, do you ever question who the source is?

  • How do you feel if a blog get a story wrong after claiming to have a source?

  • Do you have a "source" story?

I don't believe any of these so called "sources" information. The only sources these people have are the voices in their heads...

If a blog claims to have a source but gets the story wrong I tend to test their content as just hearsay. I take it with a grain of salt. Most sources I think come from blogs or hearsay and not from someone that has firsthand knowledge.
